With 99 percent of the precincts reporting by 2:30 this morning (roughly around the time Obama finally showed up to deliver his victory speech! Just like a Kenyan to show up late! Hurmph!), Murphy led West by 2,000 votes.

An hour before that, Murphy was already declaring himself the winner.

Of course, the race is so close that a winner hasn't officially been declared yet. But NBC declared it anyway.
